Biloxi Regional Medical Center is a 198-bed hospital in Biloxi Mississippi. It can trace its roots in the community back more than 100 years. Our current logo (attached) has become a bit old and dated and isn't a good representation of the kind of high-quality, high-tech health care we provide in the Biloxi area. So a refresh or upgrade is in order.

We have very high standards for this project. We'll be limiting the participants to those who's style is a great fit for what we're looking for, and we'll be judging the entries very critically.

Help us to launch a great new public face for our hospital!

This logo should avoid any shapes like a cross with the color blue. Blue Cross/Blue Shield is very aggressive about protecting their brand and any logos that could infringe upon their trademark will be dismissed. We'll likely do the same with red crosses.

A few more details:

It will save you some time if you avoid logos with blue or red crosses. We eliminate these right away due to potential trademark issues.

In fact, it may be good to avoid crosses altogether.

Also- I can't stress this enough- if you logo uses Times New Roman, Avant Garde or any other generic fonts, it will probably be bounced with a "no thank you". Good typography is critical. Please don't use cheap fonts, your design will likely get bounced.

Last- I may have said this before, but just in case - Please make sure that the line "Medical Center" is easily readable in relationship to the rest of the logo (and at small sizes).

Thanks for you time. Keep the great entries coming!

Update22-Mar-13 GMT

A few more issues that have come out as the entries have begun to roll in...

- Please submit positive logos (ie-on white backgrounds). A logo on a black or dark color background simply isn't realistic for judging purposes as 90% of the time, this logo will be used in a positive, non-reversed use.
